Pride

The title of this thread says everything that I feel about the photograph below.

It's from yesterdays paper (sorry about quality). It shows Lorena Budd, whose paratrooper husband died while single-handedly storming a Taliban position in Afghanistan, displaying the Victoria cross she collected from the Queen at Buckingham Palace. Captain Bryan Budd, of 3rd Bn The Parachute Regiment received the award posthumously for leading two assaults on enemy posts. His body was found after the second, along with those of three Taliban. Seven other members of 3 Para, including Lt Col Stuart Tootal, its CO were also honoured
